Going to a wedding in 4 weeks and nothing fits...

Just venting. I still have 15 lbs to lose and made the mistake of trying on the dress I had maybe hoped to wear to a wedding in a few weeks. It's looking bleak, to say the least. Not to mention the outfit I wanted to wear to the rehearsal dinner... sigh. I so don't want to go shopping but I think it's inevitable.

I just cleaned out my closet last weekend. I have 3 pairs of pants that fit, 2 pairs of shorts and maybe 10 shirts. I have 20 pairs of pants that don't fit and 100 other shirts! Yes, I am going to Goodwill this weekend to offload about 75 things. Just go buy something that fits and looks great, it will make you feel better and you'll have a better time at the wedding if you look great in something that fits instead of looking like you shoved into something that doesn't.

Ugh. I dealt with this earlier this month. So sad. Made me angry. Ended up borrowing a dress from a friend who's much heavier. Do you have any maternity dresses? Most of mine still fit and don't look weird (i.e. like maternity).

Been there... sorry, it's rough. My suggestion is to get a wrap dress; it's flattering and will still fit as you loose the weight. Cowl necks hid my ginormous engorged breasts, too. Whatever you do, don't make the mistake that I did and squeeze into spanx to wear your old clothes... I grimace when I see those photos.

I think I have to buy all new clothes.  I am afraid even if/when I lose all the weight my body is completely different.  I just signed up for a 5K Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving for motivation...

How funny! I did the same thing over the weekend - did my first workout today. I hate running, but I'm hoping it does the trick.
